Reflections on the Psalmsby C. S. Lewis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In one of his most enlightening books, C. S. Lewis assumes neither a didact's nor an apologist's stance but takes instead a tone of thoughtful collegiality as he rites on the Psalms. Lewis cautions his readers that the Psalms were written as songs and should be read in spirit of lyric poetry rather than as doctrinal treatises or sermons. The author then shares, with his characteristic grace and lucidity, reflections on both the form and meaning of select passages. The book includes an appendix with the text of particular Psalms and a listing of all the Psalms discussed. Review:"A detailed attempt to find the inner meaning and values of one limited part of the Bible." Chad Walsh, New York Times Book Review Synopsis:Lewis writes here about the difficulties he has met or the joys he has gained in reading the Psalms. He points out that the Psalms are poems, intended to be sung, not doctrinal treatises or sermons. Proceeding with his characteristic grace, he guides readers through both the form and the meaning of these beloved passages in the Bible. About the AuthorC. S. Lewis (1898-1963) gained international renown for an impressive array of beloved works both popular and scholarly: literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and numerous books on theology. Among his most celebrated achievements are Out of the Silent Planet, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, and Surprised by Joy.
